Static
Lyrics
Twelve seconds on a Tuesday
You were calling about dinner
Nothing urgent, love you, bye now
Then the click, and then the winter
Every phone I've owned since then has
Carried you across the years
Like a boat I keep on bailing
So the ocean never hears
You were only calling 'bout dinner
Never knew what you were leaving
Now the smallest words you wasted
Are the ones that keep me breathing
Static
Hiss and glow
Static
Soft and low
Press play
Hey, it's me
Stay
Stay
Saved where I can go
Once a year I let it play me
On the day the winter came
And the static sounds like snowfall
Keeping warm around your name
Static
Hiss and glow
Static
Soft and low
Press play
Hey, it's me
Stay
Stay
Saved where I can go
Nothing urgent
Love you, bye now
Static
Hiss and glow
Static
Never low
Press play
Hey, it's me
Stay
Stay
Saved, and still you glow
Now I leave my own hellos long
Never know which one gets kept
